TRAINING AND INFORMATION
Training its people is part of the prevention initiatives pro- moted by Moncler.
In 2020, about 20,000 thousand hours of health and safe- ty training were provided, more than 16,000 of these at the production site in Romania. Specific training programmes were developed and customized based on different roles and risk levels, so as to transfer the knowledge, skills, and values required to work safely.
The majority of employees attended a training pro- gramme on general safety in the workplace, in keeping with legal provisions. People in positions of responsibility took ad- ditional training modules to improve monitoring and ensure that workers behaviour was compliant with the law and Com- pany regulations on occupational health and safety.
In response to the pandemic, in 2020 Moncler developed and delivered a course on anti-COVID measures for the Italian corporate offices.
An online health and safety course with specific content for store employees was given for all stores subject to certi- fication.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Moncler s commitment to promoting and protecting the health of its employees goes beyond the workplace and occu- pational risks. This explains the meaning and purpose behind the various training and information initiatives on prevention organized by the Company.
Alongside these efforts and the measures taken to sup- port employees during the COVID-19 emergency, Moncler is committed to establishing agreements with local outpatient clinics so its people can access the best medical centres at the most affordable rates. Since 2018, Moncler has been a mem- ber of a supplementary healthcare fund for fashion industry workers in Italy, which provides services complementary to those of the Italian national health system. In 2020 a total of 728 employees signed up with the fund. See also pages 89-90.
Because of the pandemic and local restrictions, in 2020 Moncler had to suspend its traditional corporate welfare in- itiatives at the production site in Romania including the an- nual blood tests directly at the site, free eye tests and con- tributions towards the purchase of glasses. The workstation ergonomics assessment in the ironing department, which will help the Company plan improvements to reduce fatigue and maximize productivity, was also put on hold during the year but will be resumed and extended to the sewing department as soon as the COVID-19 emergency allows. Finally, Moncler continued to install new LED lighting systems, which in ad- dition to being energy efficient also contribute to improve working conditions.
Another aspect regularly monitored by the Company is noise in the workplace, which can cause a number of problems to workers health. At the production site in Romania, noise measurements are carried out annually to verify compliance with the permitted limits in each area.
Air quality, temperature and humidity can also cause dis- comfort in the workplace, affecting both the physical health and psychological wellbeing of workers. Specifically, in order
to ensure proper ventilation of workplaces at the corporate offices in Trebaseleghe and in Romania, where there are sev- eral micro-climates due to the different stages of processing, Moncler continued to make efficiency upgrades by installing latest-generation ventilation systems that are periodically in- spected. At the logistics hub in Castel San Giovanni, Piacen- za, two systems have been installed to monitor the indoor temperature and assess its suitability in view of the specific activities carried out and in relation to outdoor temperatures; heating systems were installed.
In addition, all employees in Italy who became fathers after 1 January 2020 received a total of eight days paternity leave, one more than the number required by law or by nation- al collective labour agreements.
